Long really ran his socks off and pressed. Williams, playing out of position at LB did a wonderful job despite having a slight wobbly spell in the 1st half. Ainley showed up a little more in his natural position. Lowery worked hard but was too deep. Harper made an assured start but started to hide when Wimbledon scored their goal but 'reappeared' for the second half. Finney and Kashket made little impact.
We scored 3 well-taken goals. The first was their mistake but at least we had a player up to take advantage. Mandron was very calm taking round the keeper. Sambou also kept his head to score at the second attempt. Along a similar theme, Long calmly slotted his goal in from an acute angle instead of lashing at it. With the right support Long may be a major goalscorer in L2 next season. Lundstram looked uncomfortable at RB. Richards was competent enough though did get caught back-pedalling a couple of times instead of coming to collect a long through ball.
Not a great performance BUT great to win and to manage 3 (THREE!) goals in a game. Would be happy to see us repeat that a couple of times before the end of the season.
